Works great with my iPhone 17 pro even with a case! Buttons are responsive and the joysticks are nice to use. Functionality wise it seems to be similar to the more expensive competition for a fraction of the price. I also enjoy the physical connection versus other similar controllers that use Bluetooth, however that can come down to personal preference. Only downside I can think of is that it does feel a bit cheap and some of the buttons can be a little noisy, but those issues don’t outweigh the value proposition in my opinion.

Great buy. Inexpensive. Quality little controller. Best bang for the money. iPhone users read instructions to switch to iOS.
